They say cold plunging doesn’t work? They’re doing it wrong. Yes—if you hit the cold immediately after lifting, you’ll blunt hypertrophy. But that’s not the play. Do it before. Or hours after. Cold exposure triggers vasoconstriction, cold shock proteins, brown fat activation, and a dopamine spike that lasts hours. If they bottled that up and sold it, they’d call it the best antidepressant ever made. But it’s already here. You just have to get in. #ColdPlunge #Recovery #MentalResilience #BrownFat #ColdExposure #Biohack #Macademic #DisciplineOverComfort #Thermoregulation #BuiltDifferent
